Generalist vs specialist software engineers. Which one should you be?

My take is that when you’re starting out in your career, you need to be a generalist. It will allow you to find a job quicker, get into your desired industry easier and you’ll generally have more choices.
As you get more senior in your career, you will need to start thinking about going deep and picking a specific niche.
How long does it take to advance to a software Engineering Manager? My answer below.

While there is no set number of years, generally, 5 - 7 years in a software engineer role is what most engineering managers have before they take on the management path.
Some tech companies put senior engineers on the same level as their engineering managers for this very reason. Engineering management is a linear and alternate career track to software engineering.
Studies have found that leaders who focus on the strengths of their teams have better outcomes both in terms of business and employee engagement.
As an engineering manager, do you know what are your strengths of your team members? As a software engineer, what skill is your single greatest strength?
As a senior engineering manager who was once a software developer, I’d say my ability to think and act like a CEO was my greatest strength that has helped me in my career growth and progression.

Today question: What does a successful software engineering career path look like? Let me answer with my personal story... (in 🧵)

I started my career working as a web developer for a small web agency, doing everything from gathering requirements from customers,
designing websites in Adobe Photoshop, building backend applications, coding frontend interfaces, to looking after domain registration, hosting, etc.
Software tester role is dead, or it is slowly dying in tech companies. Don't get me wrong, I believe that the role of a software tester/QA is truly an important one in the product development lifecycle.

However, it's so important that it must be done by those who are building the thing (aka developers).
If you're a QA and looking to reinvent yourself, here are a few roles that might be suitable as they share some of the skills & characteristics of a QA.
